Open Source@lemmy.ml•OpenTS is a new open-source reconstruction of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun
35·2 months agoYou don’t do open source software?
Do you understand open source licenses?
A big premise of that is attributation. If you don’t give appropriate credit, you’re in breach of license. The code AI used didn’t allow it to be distributed without it. They stole from that person.
We’re talking about the worker, not the bourgeoisie. Their labour was exploited to benefit a corporate entity. And you’re consuming stolen proceeds from the bourgeoisie and defending their contributions.

107·2 months agoDamn. Imagine shilling for big AI companies because you gain something. Those companies stole from people to sell it. Where are your principles?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Billionaire Bill Ackman: Microsoft is a great business. Microsoft 365 package has 450M users. It would be nearly impossible to disrupt that

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are you starting to take off the rose-tinted glasses to?
2·4 months agoUnfortunately, you’re wrong.
Nobody cares about your stuff. Some care about the quality of their work, but they’re hard to find. Best approach is word of mouth. Find folk family, friends, neighbours recommend. If none, local Facebook groups are an option. Good trades folk come recommended by many.
Secondly, here in the UK, we never pay up front. Best way to lose your money. Why work 100% of a job for 40% of the money, when you can work 0% for 60% of the money.
Only exception is if expensive materials are needed. Usually you’d pay for that part up front if they’re legit and you trust them, otherwise, they can order the mats from trade place and you can phone up and pay them. It isn’t unreasonable to ask for an invoice. Massive jobs can be gated behind a 30% of money after x progrss, 40% after y progress and the rest on satisfactory conclusion. That way, they have incentive to work and finish. Only cowboys would usually demand most up front. How can you pay for something you didn’t receive and they didn’t earn?
Never offer more money for correct work, state clearly what you want, and how, and verify that is in price. Verify, and check done correctly. If you don’t know correct way, ask someone who does or research / watch videos on YouTube etc.
You’ll be less disappointed if you don’t let people walk over you following some bullshit philosophy only you believe. Don’t try to place unrealistic values on the world, understand how it works and learn how to operate within it.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Can Open-Source AI Bring Translation Back Under User Control?
4·4 months agoGot a complaint that this is an ad. We don’t really have a rule against that and I’d assume in an open source community, sharing repos and projects is part of it. There is a repo link.
I’ll allow it. Discuss as you will.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•OnlyOffice seem to have taken down their Android app source code
9·5 months agoSource available fails on principles of open source. Such as the right to modify and distribute.
Cool. Looks fun. Thanks.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•These heroes are the real ones
2·5 months agoWait? They didn’t test it and didn’t delay when they knew it wasn’t feature complete? The failure wasn’t with junior devs.
Works on desktop, so would assume multi system.

18·6 months agoSo this is basically a rebrand of fiverrr or whatever it’s called?

36·7 months agoIs GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?
I want it to be true.
I mean, if it’s a bank, they’ve probably got some BS dress policy and it’s chinos, shirt, shoes.
Polo shirts aren’t smart. Folk play tennis in them and the collar is floppy AF. They look scruffier than plain round neck T-shirt.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Your Linux PC is NOT private out of the box
5·8 months agoChina? Silk Road dude was distracted by 2 enforcement offices while several arrested and grabbed the laptop. If you’re doing things that draw that level of resourcing, that’s on you. I don’t think any civilian had a 9 person heist for a laptop in China… Unless you have a reference… But I doubt it…

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Your Linux PC is NOT private out of the box
6·8 months agoAppreciate the feedback.
I’ve seen it one other time. If you see it again, feel free to report it. It definitely helps get visibility of it.
Plus, probably filters out low value contributions. People on Codeberg are generally genuinely interested in a project and not chasing activity graphs/clout/CV padding.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Your Linux PC is NOT private out of the box
431·8 months agoI got reports on this. I’m personally not of a mind to remove it, but it does feel irrelevant to open source. It’s more a Linux sysadmin type thing.
I will say, cut down the spam. Any repeated similar musings within a week would be low value and I’d probably remove.
I personally don’t agree with your points and this wouldn’t be relevant to most peoples risk profile.
Worth reflecting on what others have said here. I think you’re worrying too much about something that will never be expolitable in standard usage and this is from someone who worries a lot about privacy.
Maybe if this is really important to you check out Tails OS which as far as I’m aware focusses on running in RAM and leaving minimal persistent state.
Thanks for sharing this. Maybe correct tagging could be useful. Makes it easier to ignore but not overly heavy and possibly toxic.
